I’ve been using Telkom Speedy, the current broadband, for about 5 month, with 50 hours package per month at Rp.200.000,- plus 10% tax (total I have to pay is Rp.220.000,-). After 50 hours, we will be charge Rp.1.500,- per hour.

Nah, for Malaysia, Streamyx users should be glad because you can have unlimited broadband at RM88 for 1Mbps, and RM66 for 512kbps. While in Indonesia, with about the same price, we can only get 50 hours (2days 2 hours nia wei!!) or 1GB with 384Kbps. For unlimited one, it cost Rp.750.000!!! Plus 10% tax, that’s freaking expensive.

It’s so often that people will ask whether to choose 50 hours package or 1GB package. Both is at the same price, Rp.200.000. From what I see, hear, and experience, for person who would like to download stuffs, open pages with such a huge capacity, those inquire a lot of byte, 50 hours package is suitable. If you just use it to open email, chatting, for surfing the cyber space only, then 1GB is worthy.

But, if you exceed 1GB, the next 1 MB is Rp.500. Count it yourself, if exceed 100MB = Rp50.000. I think 50 hours package is more worthy if you exceed the limit.

Another thing is, when people apply Speedy at the end of the month. No matter when you apply and your first time connect to Speedy, the payment will be counted from 1st of the month to 30/31 of the month. The payment itself is on 20th of next month. So, if you get your Speedy on 25th or around end of the month, just bang it and maximize the 1GB usage. Download whatever you need to download.
